eGames: When you look at the modding-scene today, how would you describe it in just three words?
arQon: Bunch of idiots. Modding is utterly thankless work that basically only has two outcomes: you fail; or you 'succeed' and then have to deal with a crowd that demands everything, gives you nothing in return, and generally treats you like shit while reaping the fruits of your time and effort. I'd call it 'voluntary slavery', except that slaves at least got food and housing, and less abuse. Just to be even more insulting, if you create something wildly popular, companies like Epic will simply copy it without so much as a credit and try to pass it off as their own idea.

"Spore gives players their own personal universe in a box. Create and evolve life, establish tribes, build civilizations, sculpt entire worlds and explore a universe created by other gamers. Spore gives players a wealth of creative tools to customize nearly every aspect of their universe: creatures, vehicles, buildings, and even UFOs. Players can then seamlessly share their creations with the world or explore infinite new galaxies created by other gamers."

So as we’ve touched on before you joined team EG, you’re the only female in the line-up do you think you are treated differently or are you just “One of the guys”?

Ecstasy: I am definitely “one of the guys.” My teammates are respectful and they see me as a player, not as the girl on the team. We all get along very well and have become really close friends. Stryfe was one of the few people who saw the potential in me and have helped me improve tremendously since.
